Dear hobbyist , when my tangs were introduced, my yellow tang was 1st , but was 1 and 1/2 " . then my blond naso 2nd , the clown tang 3rd , and the hippo tang last . Try a larger hippo tang ,it might work . However , these fish need running room . I hope things work
out .

I think that might work Doc...I think you just need to be prepared that the Naso is going to be aggressive toward any Tang at first...When the aggression will stop is impossible for anyone to predict. My Achilles was aggressive toward any new fish for several hours, but toward the Naso it lasted 2 days....If I were doing it based on what you saw with the Powder, I would try a Sailfin, Yellow or Purple which are completely different shape from the Naso or Hippo...Just my opinion.

OK, I appreciate all the help.
Just for future reference here's what Ima gonna do. SWF.com has a 4-6in hippo in right now. Imma gonna getem!
After the hippo completes the stay in QT, with a good Hypo treatment. I'll place him in a bucket, then net out Mr. Naso and put him in the QT. Put the hippo in the DT to give him some time to adjust. Then when he's all adjusted, back in goes the Naso! I figure that it's likely I will see some aggression regardless of how it goes. So I might see some when the Naso goes back in. But I'll deal with that by rearranging if need be.
